Last week I had the pleasure of photographing one of my absolute favorite companies: Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet. At the moment, the company is preparing for an upcoming full-length work titled Orbo Novo, which is being choreographed by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui. The piece, from what I’ve seen, is a spectacular mix of spoken word and incredibly challenging movement, which the company is tackling with their usual thrilling abandon. I had such a great time photographing these dancers, and I thought I’d share a few of the images with The Winger readers! You can check out more of my photography here.

Beautiful dancers, beautiful photography! I’m surprised Jaime Rodney is back in NY and with Cedar Lake! Last I saw of him was on a poster for Ballet Black in London hung in the Royal Opera House
